2014 “Dumb” Listing Pics

[Skook]

It’s interesting that some weeks when you look at listing pics there is a theme that emerges. One week not long ago, the theme was “ladders”.

With the Rosamund property in Gibsons, there was an abundance of ladders; two against buildings and a third backup if needed. My guess is there were likely more tucked away because you can never have enough ladders.

And, look at that. In a fine Pender Harbour example of what SC Realtors refer to as “West Coast Rustic”, we have another ladder.

So, why are these examples of “Dumb” listing pics. Well, the Pender Harbour property does get a bye, it just happened to carry through on the theme.

However, that Rosamund property is another matter. When I look at those pics, all that goes through my mind is, “What is going on up there in those attic spaces?” Hmmm, are the ladders there for access or to provide an alternative escape if unexpected visitors drop by. Nah, they’re probably just raising pigeons or chickens up there.

Now, if I were the Realtor taking the pics, I would have thought long and hard on those ladders and ultimately concluded they be removed at least temporarily (they do look rather permanent, don’t they?). But, then again, perhaps I just lived too long up there in the most "colourful" area of the SC.
